Hello,
a package is provided : srwAPIins.sql installs the Event-Driven Publishing API.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_17/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_evnt.htm
The Event-Driven Publishing API is a PL/SQL package that provides the basic functions required for the development of procedures that respond to events in the database. Event-driven jobs are submitted using the HTTP protocol. The server assigns a unique job_ident record to every call, useful for tracking the status of the job.

Can we call 10g Report from Form-6i???

Hi buddies.....Can we call a report developed in 10g reports from a 6i Form using Run_Report_Object???

Hi,
you can run the reports in 6i. There won't be any problem. I have checked with the RDF file.
I don't know whether the REP file which is generated in 10g can be opened in 6i or not.

How can i call one report from another report (Drill Down Approach)

Hi Friends,
I've two reports in completely different layout format.
One is in Crosstab & another is in Tabular.
Now i want to call my Tabular report(report 1) from my Crosstab (report 2) without using BO's default drill down feature. Or, you can show using BO's feature if it supports my requirement.
How to do that?
Is it at all possible?
Please share your thoughts. Thanks in advance for your time.
Regards.
Satyaki De.

hi
you can use openDocument for this.
[http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_url_reporting_opendocument_en.pdf]
I would suggest to use variables that build the HTML code for the hyperlinks dynamically, and display them in your crosstab. Set the display option for the related cells (ie. the cells where your variables are displayed in) so that the cell's contents as interpreted as HTML code.

Stratos

Here in this case even though i specify the report id in the parameter,debugger message says that 'You did not specify the name'.
The same code is working in some other server and giving the pdf output.
Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Hello Chirag,
If you want to invoke and run a report from your PL/SQL code in the database, you can do so by installing and using the SRW package supplied with Reports. This package allows you to run parametrized report jobs on a specified Reports Server from your PL/SQL program and track the job status. Please take a look at the documentation for this package in the Publishing Reports manual on OTN at: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/A92102_01/toc.htm.
On the other hand, if you just need to invoke the Reports Builder program from your PL/SQL routine, you would need to use the default builtin for calling external applications from PL/SQL.
Thanks,
The Oracle Reports Team.

How to call a report from a menu ?

I am converting 6i client/server forms to 9i.
I have a menu that has an option on it to run a report for each menu item selected using RUN_PRODUCT.
9i is making this obsolete, so how can I call a report from a menu (not a form) now then ?
In a form it is fine cos I just use the Report Object - a menu does not have this facility.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
so here is how this should be done:
1. Create a Reports node in the Forms module that uses the menu (you don't have to create one Reports Object for each report that you want to run)
2. From the menu, before calling Run_Report_Object() use Set_Report_Object_Property() to set the phsical file name of the Reports that should be executed. This is kind of best practice and does not have a performance hit.
There is a bug filed against Forms to extend the menu files with a reports Object node. This could require a change to teh file structure which is why we looking for Forms 10i to implement this. (If it turns out that we can have it without recompiling the menu modules then it may go into a patch set - however this seems unlikely from my point of view)

Can we call a report in another report?

I have developed a XMLP report for AR receivables for a customer and another XMLP report for AP vouchers for a customer.
Now my requirement is to develop a report for AR/AP Balance for a customer,which is combination of above 2(ie AR Receivables report + AP vouchers report).
What is the possible solution to above mentioned requirement??
Can I call a report from another report(for ex AP vouchers report from AR Receivables report).Is this possible?
If yes,please explain...
Or are there any alternatives to this requirement??
Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
Calling another report in a report? Not sure about your requirement but you can do fnd_submit/fnd_request.
OR, if you need AR/AP balance,... here's an alternative solution:
If you're in R12, there is the "Automatic Netting (AP/AR)" feature in Payables. You could check on the available report if it fits your need.
In 11i, you may run "Supplier Customer Netting Report" (ARXSCN). This is an OReport(RDF) and could be converted to XMLP. This report is designed to display the net balances in AP and AR for Vendors and Customers with the same name, NIF Code, or VAT Registration.
Hope this helps.

Call Oracle form from pl/sql

how can I show this form to specific client ?What client?!? Database PL/SQL is executed within a process on the database server, it's not something which is executed on the client. Could you please elaborate a little bit more?
By now I have not the faintest clue if you want to
- call a form from another form ( call_form )
- call a form within a database process (?!?)
- call your form from a client you did not tell us (probably APEX?!?)
For the case you really meant to call a form within Database PL/SQL: Just in case you didn't recognize it, but the database is perfectly capable of PL/SQL and as calling a form within a database process is a one-way street as you cannot interact with it there is no point at all in writing the things you want to do in forms. If you want some PL/SQL code executed on the database then...well...put it in a stored procedure in the database!
